John Richards (yeah, as in in the Morning) has Silversun Pickups! (and TV on the Radio).

Meredith Ochs has The Gourds! whose Heavy Ornamentals is their best - unfortunately, I can't find any mp3s to give you: I'd love to give you "Hooky Junk."

Kevin Cole (also of KEXP) has Tapes and Tapes! and Silversun Pickups too and Art Brut!

There's also a top ten classical list from WGUC in Cincinnati (which has the same 90.9 as a station in DC which once played classical music - and may again). A glance at today's playlist suggests Christmas is coming.
